Sometimes I have to give my hubbie the side eye stare down like...is he gay? Cause he has such a great taste in fashion and always buy me things he loves. Right now he's obsessed with wedge sneakers so he got me these...yes I'm a spoiled bitch, DUH! I love them soooooo much cause I get to wear sneakers and still have a little height. THANKS JOEL!

Every now and again you find that piece that stands out so much you don't need anything else but jewelry and a bag. Believe it or not but this dress is way louder/brighter in person...like blinding! Ugh you should see it when I walk, DAT FLOW! Thanks to Joel's great taste he was able to score this rad dress for me.

I wore this out for sushi with Joel and everyone and their Mom at the restaurant was complimenting me on it. I don't think I blushed that much in my life, which means I just sat there nervously smiling with itchy cheeks, nodding saying, "thank you and THANK YOU," lol! I am a (vomit) southern girl.

The best thing to happen since platforms and weave is Wasteland getting an online shop. Like it's the first place I run to when I go to SF for those insane vintage finds. It's also where I got the above shorts and romper. So I was beyond happy to share with you a discount code for 20% off courtesy of Wasteland for anything in the store. Everyone needs a little Wasteland in their life, right?

Just go to shopwasteland.com, pick out all the good shizz, then enter WASTEDVIRGIN20 in the discount code box and BOOSH 20 frickin' percent off! Ugh why are you still here...seriously GO.

Now you know I was going to bust out my new DIY shorties, DUH! I love how my ass in glowing from all the bleach and neon, like this crazy aura around me. Golly gee I just LOVE THEM!

And THANK YOU ladies over at DAYDREAMER LA for this awesome neon hamsa tee...it's fucking perfect. The cotton's so soft you can wrap a baby in it and the tulip opening in the back is a must-have for Texas weather. A gust of wind can go a long way out here baby and I loooove a good chill up my back, brrrrrr!

As much as I'm obsessed with white I'm still taking baby steps on wearing it all together. Like an all in one, romper or dress is perfect but separates can be tricky. So I used black tights/accessories to make the outfit and shoes stand out more. Love it?

Oh before I go I just wanted to thank everyone for all the positive support and feedback I've been receiving lately! Blogging has been a true joy knowing other people across the globe has got your back...so kudos to you!

kiss kiss,

Soooooo this was an easy one since the shorts were already neon green, SCORE...high five! I just dipped it in 50% bleach and 50% water, drain and let it hang for 2 hours. Then rinse all the bleach out with cold water, throw in the washing machine, dry and voila...SUMMER TREND! Ugh love the faint aqua between the lime and white, makes it kinda beachy.
Anywho, run to your local thrift/charity shops NOW...yes now, find those oversized neon shorts and dip em'!

So my latest obsession and recommendation for the Summer is anything WHITE! Like I looooove colors but these past months I slowly realize I'm hoarding more and more white items. All the black in my closet hates me so I avoid that section...yes my clothes talk to me, it's like Gangland in there, Vintage vs New! It was a blow by blow, fight to the finish but this romper from Wasteland came out on top. "WINNING" said the romper and draped itself all over my body, lol!

Anywho, on some real shit I'm kinda dreading Summer since Ephraim's going to Atlanta for 3 months. His real father blew back into his life/got out the Army some years ago and ever since he found out he has 3 little brothers, he could give a flying fuck about Mom, hahaha! He hates being the only child and ask me like everyday for a sibling so I understand the loneliness he feels but I also have 3 sisters...he'll be running back, lol.
On a lighter note my bestie, Darine will be visiting me soon so I will be counting the days till I see her face! Maybe she can help me with all this "selling my clothes" fiasco? Hmmmm....

So one of cool things about blogging is I get to make bloglationships every now and again with other talented bloggers! One of those lovely ladies was Deanna, who I met through Lookbook.nu. She was making and selling these amazing pieces that I was dying to get my hands on! So we bonded over her awesomeness.
Then she went away for awhile (tear) and came back out of the blue and was like, "Dude I'm making shoes now!" When I clicked the link in the email, my jaw literally dropped and I was instantly hooked on the Deandri bandwagon...the wood detailing, snakeskin lining and the fact that they're 5 inch platforms, ugh I LOOOOVE THEM!

She also sent me the rad shoe accessories which has Virgin all over it and also a quick way to change up a pair of shoes...from hey to HEEEEEY, lol!

Oh and she draws as well...what can't this girl do? Thank you soooo much Deanna, you're amazing!

Hahaha busting out my Grandma do...I was so inspired by the look below after seeing it on Tumblr, I just had to give it a go.

EPIC FAIL, I mean it turned out cute but I do know next time I try it I'll use synthetic hair to stiffen up my hair cause my shit was falling all over the place, lol!

Anywho, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the fashionable Mommies out there! If you've been following me for awhile you know how much I LOVE being a Mom...I'm like borderline obsessed for those who didn't know, hehe.

I had Ephraim when I was 19 so it wasn't all champagne and roses in the beginning, I fucking struggled but now I get "Mom of the Year"...EVERY YEAR! So to all you young Moms out there DON'T GIVE UP, I swear things will get better. And you can be fashionable too! I don't know who came up with this old wives tale that once you pop out a kid you should look frumpy and wear the latest from Chico's...FUCK THAT! Remember it's just clothes people, you're not killing any babies from working it.

I'm still in awe and slightly flabbergasted that I was featured in Nylon Indonesia! I'm like "HOLY SHIT that's Mama in there" and Ephraim's like "that's your name on the front Mom!" It's such a humbling experience to know that your vintage craziness is loved all over the world. Thank you so much Alexander over at Nylon and also to my lovely readers for spreading the love all over the country!!

Holy sizzle it's getting hot in Texas, so crank up the Will Smith jams (you know the song), get out the popsicles and kiddie pools, lol!

As hot as it is, there is one thing I know that will be hotter this Summer...NEON! From your fingertips to your clothes, neon is taking over. I know we've all seen the neon ombre suit on Alice Point, right? I will be DIYing that shizz in the near future...just need to find an all white suit for super cheap, FUCK.

Anywho I'm still working on selling my clothes, which has been a bitch cause I have to switch out my Winter wardrobe for Summer and if you haven't noticed I have a shitload of clothes. So I'll be working on that for the next week or so, booooooooooo.

Well I'm off to do Mom stuff...the kids are testing all this week so I gotta go get my volunteer on!
